Octavius
Octavius looked intently at Captain Rao as she thanked him with his first name, feeling somehow honored, and explained to him what would happen to Hendriks. He felt reassured by the fact that his superior would indeed be removed immediately, if not for his own sake, for that of the citizens of Stormbreak. There was still a small worry in the back of Octavius' mind, however.
He smiled a little, expression still rueful, and nodded in response to her last question. Hendriks was difficult to work with, though Octavius' skill and capability saved him from much of his wrath. He had never before seen the man inflict violence on another, however, and it occurs to him that he was likely waiting for an opportunity to do what he did, preying on someone vulnerable. Worry still clouds his eyes as he thinks of the merchant.
"And when you go to the merchant, will you investigate him as well? Because of the symbol?" He doesn't know what answer to expect, nor the one he wants.
